Thanks, Marc.
It is an old, time-proven concept, and I cannot take credit for it.
John Tennis is the genious who thought up putting it on his M35-K models,
for added service brake power. His application is simplicity itself.
As one of our previous customers, you can get one at a slightly lower price,
and we'll cover the shipping.
Thanks for the kind words.
